traders were active in shorts, but liquidation
of several long accounts prevented any ma
terial advance. The Richmond and West

the special features OF the day and were weak

mOnd and West Point and the East Tennes-
see had been stopped by an Injunction.
There was somewhat better trading, but the

the face of generally weak market, upon
good buying from inside sources. Tue mar
